A salary or revenue column
One scroll of a spreadsheet or a BI dashboard and a whole column of compensation or unreleased numbers is on everyone’s screen.
Blur sensitive information before you share your screen
Zoom, Google Meet and Teams share whatever is on the page. Blurr.ing blurs salaries, personal data, dashboards and your other tab titles in the page itself before you present.
- Works with Zoom, Meet & Teams
- Blur live, mid-call
- No recording, ever
Quick answer
Share a Chrome tab rather than your whole screen or window, then blur what is left inside it. Tab sharing is the free half of the fix: it hides your address bar, tab strip, bookmarks, notifications, and every other window, because none of them are part of the tab. It does nothing about the salaries, customer records, and dashboards inside the page you are presenting, and that is Blurr.ing's job. Because the blur is applied live in your browser, whatever you draw or click stays hidden in real time, and Tab Privacy masks your other tab titles for the times you do have to share a whole window.
The risk
Once you hit “Share”, everyone sees the whole window
A screen share sends the whole window, including the parts you did not plan to present, and you cannot take back what a dozen people already saw. Closing tabs and rehearsing helps, but one notification or one row scrolled too far is enough, and anyone on the call can screenshot it.
A notification or an email
A Slack toast, a Gmail preview, or a customer’s real address in your CRM pops in exactly when a dozen people are watching.
The address bar & tab strip
A staging URL, an auth token in a query string, or the titles of your other tabs can say more than you meant to.
How Blurr.ing helps
Frost over the private parts before you present
Blurr.ing blurs parts of the page you are about to share. Draw a box over a region, click an element to hide a whole card, or let keyword redaction cover every match in a long report. The blurs stay in place while you present.
No flash when you refresh
With Premium, saved blurs re-apply before the page paints, so reloading a live dashboard or paging through a report never flashes the real figures to your audience.
Tab Privacy for the tab strip
Mask every tab title with asterisks and hide the favicons, so sharing your whole browser window never reveals which sites you have open.
Redact salaries & PII in bulk
Smart keyword redaction blurs every email, phone number, or figure across a long page at once, without drawing over each cell.
Pin a blur while you scroll
Lock a blur over sensitive UI so it stays put as you scroll a long spreadsheet or dashboard live on the call.
Dial the intensity
Slide any blur from a light privacy haze up to a heavy 20px blur, so a salary column is unreadable to everyone on the call.
Peek without revealing
Hover a blur to check the value yourself with the Reveal pill, and your audience never sees it uncovered.
Step by step
Blur before a screen share in five quick steps
It takes under a minute from install, and there is nothing to configure.
- 1
Open the page you will present
Pull up the spreadsheet, dashboard, or CRM you plan to show before you join the call.
- 2
Open the Blurr.ing toolbar
Press Ctrl + Shift + Y (Cmd + Shift + Y on Mac) or click the Blurr.ing icon to open the on-page toolbar on any site.
- 3
Blur the sensitive parts
Draw a box over a salary column, or click an element to hide a dashboard card, then dial the intensity up.
- 4
Mask your tab strip
Turn on Tab Privacy so your other tab titles and favicons are hidden while you share your window.
- 5
Start sharing
Share your tab or window on Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams. The blurs are already in place and stay there for the whole call.
Can you blur part of your screen on Zoom?
Not with Zoom itself: Zoom's blur setting applies to your webcam background only, never to the screen you share. Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams all transmit the shared window exactly as it appears on your machine. The fix is to blur inside the page before you hit Share: with Blurr.ing you draw a box over the salary column or click the customer card, the blur renders as part of the page, and every meeting app simply transmits the already-blurred pixels. It works identically on Zoom, Meet, Teams, Slack huddles and Webex, because the hiding happens in your browser, not in the meeting software.
Google Meet: share a tab, not a window
When Google Meet asks what to present, pick "A tab", not "A window" or "Your entire screen". A shared tab shows only the page itself: no address bar, no bookmarks, no tab strip, no desktop notifications. That one choice removes most accidental leaks for free, and Zoom and Teams offer the same option under their sharing pickers. What tab sharing cannot do is hide the sensitive data inside the page you are presenting, which is where the blur comes in, and for the times you must share a whole window, Tab Privacy masks your other tab titles and favicons so the strip reveals nothing.

More ways to blur before you share
The same blurs work for screenshots, streams and demos.
Clean, redacted screenshots
Redact names, emails and account numbers before you capture a screenshot for docs, tutorials, support tickets or bug reports.
Demoing with real data
Hide API keys, secrets, connection strings and customer records with one tap before you demo, pair, or file a bug. 34 presets match the common formats.
Streaming & recording
Auto-blur images, videos and ads, and hide your own name, email and address before you go live or record a tutorial.
Can I blur my screen during a live Zoom or Teams call?
Yes. Blurr.ing applies blurs directly inside the web page, so whatever you draw or click is hidden in real time in the shared window on Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams. You can add, reveal, or clear blurs mid-call without stopping your share.
How do I hide my other browser tabs while screen sharing?
Turn on Tab Privacy, which masks every tab title with asterisks and hides the favicons. It gives you three free activations, then it is Premium. When you share your whole screen or browser window, a glance at the tab strip never reveals which sites you have open.
Will my dashboard flash the real numbers if I refresh mid-presentation?
Not with Premium: saved blurs re-apply before the page paints, so reloading a live dashboard, paging through a report, or navigating a single-page app never flashes the underlying figures to your audience. On the free plan a refresh clears your blurs, so re-draw them before you continue presenting.
Does blurring slow down or record my screen share?
No. Blurr.ing blurs with CSS inside your browser and never records or reads the page, so there is no lag, no recording, and no extra app to run alongside Zoom, Meet, or Teams. It makes an image only when you press the screenshot shortcut yourself, and that image is built in your browser. The blurs you draw stay on your device.
